Product Details

The blade on this katana is forged from T10 carbon steel and subjected to differential hardening, producing a genuine hamon line along the edge. At 40.5 inches overall with a 1.26-inch width and 0.275-inch spine thickness, the blade carries enough geometry for a satisfying presence on a display stand or in a collection. The polished chrome finish reflects light cleanly, letting the hamon's undulating pattern stand out against the body of the steel.

The tsuka is built on a full-tang core - the steel runs the complete length of the handle for structural integrity. PU white samegawa covers the underlying wood, and black cotton cord is wrapped over it in the traditional diamond pattern, leaving the samegawa peeking through at even intervals. The result is a high-contrast black-and-white grip that feels secure in hand and reads well visually.

Fittings are finished in contrasting metals. The habaki is gold-tone brass, sitting flush at the blade's base and acting as a clean transition point between the polished steel and the darker fittings above it. A green jewel accent is set at the kurikata on the saya, picking up the green tones of the lacquer and adding a small detail that rewards close inspection.

The tsuba is cast alloy in a round, open-work ornate scroll pattern with black finish. The cutout design reduces visual weight without sacrificing the guard's proportional role in the overall koshirae. It pairs well with the gold habaki below and the black tsuka above, holding the color story of the piece together.

The saya is where this katana makes its strongest visual statement. Crafted from hardwood and finished in premium natural lacquer, the scabbard features a swirling green-on-black dragon motif - irregular green veining spreads across the dark base like flame or flowing water. A black sageo cord is knotted at the kurikata in a traditional style. For collectors drawn to Green Saya Japanese Samurai Swords, this piece delivers a bold color combination without sacrificing the structural quality of the underlying hardwood and lacquer construction. Total weight is 2.88 lbs. Sword stand is not included.
